Out it comes.....(google images)
Seriously, I need to make a big decision this summer, regarding my bachelor's degree goal. If I want to graduate from UNM, I need a certain # of hours there. Like 92. This is part of the audit.....
Now, does this make sense to anyone? On the top it says I need 26 hours. On the bottom, unless I am not understanding (which is very likely), it says that after I've earned the 94 hours, I have to take 15 more. WTF?????????
At UNM, you must also have a minor. I picked history, mostly because I like ancient history, and partly because I had taken so freakin many history classes at CNM (community college) I figured that I won't need that many upper level classes.....and I really only need 15 hours. (Notice that there is a weirdly demonic correlation between the 94 and the additional 15 hours....hmmmmm) The issue at hand is finding upper level history classes online (none) or after work (also none).
If I take the required history classes at another college, I won't have enough hours earned at UNM to graduate with my degree.
Slap me.....
So, all this time, I hadn't really considered this logistical problem.
I wrote an e-mail to the Dean of Students (don't ask me why I thought this was a good idea), but I haven't (wow, surprising, right?) heard from them. Basically I mentioned the requirements, the fact that I work full time, and that the history department doesn't offer any upper level classes online or after 5pm.
I don't think they care......
Waaaahhh.....
So, I suppose I will have to schlep over to the counselors office (that don't care, and make you feel like you're a whiner), who will probably send me to someone else that doesn't care.
I think I'm going to have to accept the fact that regardless of the $$ I've spent so far, they will be annoyed that I'd really like to finish. Without taking this.....
"Queer History Ancient Time to Today"
Are they kidding? Nope. Not that I have anything against the gay/lesbian/&whatever lifestyle. I just choose not to study it. I'd rather take....
"Medieval & Modern Apocalypse"
(note the time it's available)
Another issue is: if I transfer to another college that allows me the freedom to take all my classes online, I will probably face the same hours issue. Plus, I won't be able to participate in the traditional graduation ceremony. I was kinda looking forward to that.
So, kinda sucks.....hopefully there will be someone at UNM that will respond to this:
Not sure what else to do......
Love, 365
